cayó & rodando

I want to say "she fell rolling by the stairs" in spanish using the words
cayó & rodando

Is the phrase "ella se cayó rodando por la escalera" correct?

Saludos,
Raji

sosia has a spectacular aura aboutsosia has a spectacular aura about
It's correct, but "ella se cayó rodando por las escaleras"
it's curious, but in Spanish "escalera" refers usually to a ladder
and "escaleras" to the house stairs.
Here "la escalera" you're saying she's falling from a ladder

This literally says "Cayó rodando junto a las escaleras".

Ella se cayó rodando por las escaleras = She fell down the stairs / She rolled down the stairs / She tumbled down the stairs.
